Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It is showerproof, meaning it has a water-repellent coating to shed light rain, but it is not waterproof for heavy or sustained rainfall.
What material is the gilet made of?
It is constructed primarily from polyester, featuring a faux suede exterior and a faux shearling lining.
Can I wear this over a thick jumper?
Yes, the sleeveless design makes it perfect for layering over thick knitwear or sweaters.
How should I wash it?
Always check the care label inside the garment. Generally, spot cleaning is preferred, or a cold, gentle machine cycle if heavily soiled.
Is it suitable for winter?
It is excellent for transitional weather. In deep winter, you may need a heavier coat, but it works well as an extra layer beneath a shell or as an outer layer on milder, dry winter days.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent finish stops working
The showerproof coating can degrade over time. Re-apply a fabric-safe water-repellent spray designed for synthetic textiles.
Faux shearling feels matted
Gently brush the lining with a soft-bristled garment brush to fluff up the synthetic fibers and restore the plush feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Fairbanks Gilet stays in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Spot clean the faux suede exterior with a damp cloth if necessary. Check the internal care label for specific machine wash instructions, though gentle cycles are recommended.
- Drying: Air dry only. Avoid placing the gilet near direct heat sources like radiators, as this may damage the synthetic materials.
- Storage: Store on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the gilet and prevent creasing of the faux suede finish.
- Layering: This gilet pairs best with slim-fit knitwear or long-sleeve cotton shirts. Avoid heavy, bulky items that may feel restricted around the armholes.
